@midwest.socialSAME HERE BUDDY. AT MOST I'LL USE A LITTLE BAR SOAP OCCASIONALLY, BUT USUALLY ONLY ONCE A WEEK OR SO, AND EVEN THEN I USE IT SPARINGLY.
Oh for sure, but a Walmart board is going to frustrate you so much there's a real risk you could quit when you'd stick it out with a "real" board. Like, if that's all you got, that's all you got. But if your just unwilling (not unable) to spend the extra $40, you're making things unnecessarily hard on yourself.
I once bought some cheap harmonicas and after about. 10 minutes was like "yeah, these are total crap and won't be any fun." So I gave them away for free to someone who knew exactly what they were and bought a real one.
I'm in a similar boat. I spent a year researching the equipment in one of my hobbies and then dropped about $4k on gear. But the things I do simply wouldn't be possible without the gear, physics is physics.
Did you take their advice? I'm regrettably a person who needs more like 9 to 10 hours of sleep, which is great because I love sleeping, but terrible because I love doing stuff.
Seeing as how 40% of the security issues that have been found over the years wouldn't exist in a memory-safe language, I would say a re-write is extremely worth it.
